Press release:

Macclesfield, UK – 20 February 2026. Publisher Silver Lining Interactive, in partnership with developer The Outer Zone and digital publisher 11 bit studios, is proud to announce that Death Howl is out now in physical form for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Death Howl fuses methodical, soulslike-inspired combat with deep deck-building strategy, challenging players to craft powerful cards, channel shamanic totems, and survive unforgiving encounters in the spirit realm. At the centre of this journey stands Ro, a mother driven beyond the edge of the living world by loss, and by the hope of reclaiming her son.

The boxed physical edition is available now via Silver Lining Direct and select local retailers, and includes a digital soundtrack download code, making it an essential addition for collectors and fans of atmospheric storytelling.

About Death Howl

Walk the path between worlds

In lands steeped in ancient myth, Ro, a hunter from a forgotten tribe, crosses into the spirit realm, guided by grief and faint echoes of the past. Each step deeper uncovers memories, truths, and a haunting connection between love and loss.

Build your deck, shape your fate

Scavenge eerie regions for ingredients and craft cards to define your combat style. Unlock shamanic totems for powerful passive effects and balance melee and ranged spells to survive battles where preparation is everything.

Tactical combat with lethal stakes

Face relentless spirits, corrupted creatures, and towering bosses in tense, grid-based encounters. Adapt your deck on the fly as you journey through unsettling locations like the Forest of Howling Shadows and the Meadows of Delusion, where every decision can mean survival or oblivion.

A story carved from grief

Death Howl is as much an emotional journey as it is a strategic challenge. Ro’s descent into the unknown explores grief, healing, and acceptance, delivering a deeply personal story that lingers long after the final battle.

Death Howl is available now in a physical edition for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch from Silver Lining Direct and local retail stores.
